ISIC cards are distributed in 130 countries through a network of Licensed Authorities, which are usually leading student-focused organisations or Student Unions.
In each country, these Licensed Authorities are exclusively responsible for ISIC card sales, distribution, and marketing, as well as for building and managing the portfolio of benefits in that country. ISIC cards are issued through Licensed Authorities’ own branches, and through distribution partnerships with other organisations (Appointed Offices) such as universities and schools.
